1. White and Nerdy
Average Rating: 9.71

------------

My thoughts: I'll get the negativity out of the way and just say that there is no reason whatsoever, other than newness, for "Tacky" to be this high. "Word Crimes" too, but "Tacky" is the greater offender in my view. I mean, it's cool that it's all one shot, but there's a not a lot going on to justify repeat viewings. Now, "Foil" on the other hand...it's probably a little too high, but it's so perfect to me and the "Oh, by the way" transition still cracks me up every single time (and I've watched this video a lot). "Pentiums" at #7 feels too low but at the same time, I don't know that I would mess with the top 5 at all.

I agree completely about the three MF videos which made the top ten--"Foil" is easily my favorite of the three, and the only one of them I anticipate will stand the test of time fairly well.

And while I knew it was in the top ten before the top ten were officially announced, I am very glad to see "Dare To Be Stupid" make it as far as it did--one of my favorite videos :Y

Don't encourage Anth. He'll probably do it....and mark it on his calendar....
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Somewhat surprised to see W&N at #1. Figured Top 3, but didn't think it would be crowned King. Personally, I'd say "Fat" or SLN are slightly better. . .I'd have been fine with either of those would have been in the top spot, with W&N #3.

Still, very cool that you did this, Anth. I too think you should make this a "thing" every year or so and see how tastes may have changed.

I think Foil can stand the test of time and stay in the top ten, but Tacky and Word Crimes are mostly just in there because they're new.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

I thought anthontherun was a girl (from the avatar) :lol:

I'm glad W&N is #1, it's my personal favourite.
